Yum + Python syntax error

[DarkMasterHalo]

Hi guys,

Yesterday, I did update of my package with Yum. Everything went fine. No errors nothing. However, this morning, tried to run Yumex as usual. This error came to me when lauching the command Yum

If you can please help me with this error. I have seriously no idea of how to solve it. I tried to reinstall Yum without success. Also perhaps there was a Python update as Python is involved here. Seems to be a syntax error, but I really don<t know how to fix it and which file to edit.

Thank you very much for your help !!
Please save my little Fedora .

I have got the same error !!!

Try:
yum --noplugins [...]

I had to disable the 'skip-broken' plugin after today's new updates due to similar problems with python.

HeHey, it worked. But is there a way to make it permanently. So I can start Yumex without going through the command line ?

Thanks for your answer !

If you find a solution to why we have to deactivate the plugins to get Yum working, Tell me

[DarkMasterHalo]

Ok let it. I found how to deactivate the plugins permanently in the mean time there is an update.

[DarkMasterHalo]

For whoever wants the solution. Just edit the file "/etc/yum.conf" and set plugins to 0.

[Hlingler]

Yes, you found the global plugin switch. You can also enable/disable individual plugins by editing the corresponding line in their respective config files: /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/[plugin-name].conf

It appears that Python choked when some of the old plugins (e.g.: skip-broken), which have now been integrated with the new YUM, were "double-loaded" (so to speak).

Ok Ok, will see this to enable my other plugins

Thanks for the reply !

[DarkMasterHalo]

Ok in my case it was the file "/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/filter-data.conf" that was causing the problem. I just deactivate it by putting the value enable to 0. Everything works fine now. Thanks for the help !!

[Hlingler]

Well, then, that's two different plugins that cause Python to choke. One has to wonder why they were not simply deprecated and removed/replaced if their functionality has been integrated into the new YUM. Guess I'll check bugzilla....

EDIT: It appears that both items have been reported multiple times in the last few days. So they're covered already.

The file it points to has a syntax error. I noted that compared to other similar statements, it should have a colon ( at the end of the line it was pointing to. I added the colon and yum works back to normal.

Whether this is the correct fix, I don't know as I am not the developer.

I assume an update will be coming out soon to fix it, if one is not out already.
